Welcoming teachers back to their “home away from home” with tra- ditional zest and enthusiasm was Mrs. Ruth Ambrose, president of the Dallas District Educational Association. New faculty members wer: in- troduced, and Rotary Exchange Students spoke on their experiences abroad. Remarks were given by Jack H. Stanley, president of the school board, and Superintendent Dr. Rob- ert A. Mellman. Rev. Francis A. Kane gave invocation, and George McCutcheon, guidance counselor, led the salute to the flag. Donald J. Evans, teacher, mod- erated the panel of three girls re- cently returned from opposite ends of the earth as exchange students— Beverly Eck from Union of South Africa, Sheryl Stanley from Switz- and Cynthia Xonsavage Presentation this year was re- stricted to two specific areas of interest- by moderator Evans. He ®ked the students to describe the educational systems in these coun- tries, and then asked them to com- ment on how people abroad seemed to feel about United States foreign policy. Asserting that ‘the student is the most important person in this school system,” Dr. Mellman also touched on matter of cheating and how it should be handled by the teacher. He said the student should be reminded that “cheating is steal- ing” and that the student should be taught not to want to cheat. He also outlined the large build- ing program slated for Dallas Dis- trict in the years 1967 through 1969. Expect A Caning ~- Formality of relations between student and teacher overseas was the report of each exchange stu- ent, in contrast to the closeness in America. In fact, South Africa, Bev Eck reported, most boys received a caning for some disciplinary matter twice a year whether they deserved it or not. In South Africa, Switzerland, and Australia alike, the students said, extracurricular activity was at a minimum. Sheryl Stanley said that the Swiss student does not even think about school once he leaves | it for the day. The school day runs a little longer in Switzerland though. Sheryl was attending school from 7 to 12 and | again from 2 to 5 or 6, six days | a week. Saturday and Wednesday afternoons were off. Cynthia Konsavage had the most optimistic report on foreign policy acceptance. The Australians not nly predominantly back our for- ‘eign policy, but also have sent troops to Viet Nam. All three students reported that the United States foreign policy was either supported or rejected | by people in the countries visited, without much middle ground.

Whitesell said that the Yatsko landfill operation was termed not contrary to the township's dump- ing, by the Board of Health, which added that the department could supercede local law in any case. He said the health department could cite three instances where it had suspended the local ordinance. Consensus of opinion was that it would be possible to fight the race the cars.

Yatsko asked what he should do about neighbors who wanted to use the landfill while the board was deciding? Whitesell said they could but would have to forfeit the fee, since the township dump was still open. Earlier he also said that the board would give Yatsko ample notice before resorting to any legal action anyway. It was noted that one of Yatsko's | first customers was the health de- partment, which had sent up a load | of garbage. Board will consider amending the { present dump ordinance. also.

How’s. The Borough? Whitesell asked Harveys Lake Executive Association representa- tive Bud Hoblak, “How’s the bor- ough coming?” (He was referring | to the drive to form a borough out of the Harveys Lake watershed, from pieces of both Lake and Leh- | man Townships.) Hoblak said (with a slight smile): “Very nicely.” Whitesell said that whoever re- leased the information to a Wilkes- Barre paper that 80 per cent of tax receipts in Lake Township were spent in the south and middle dis- tricts (outside the borough confine records.” Hoblak said that it was his be- lief that inclusion of this state- ment was solely the work of the | editor. Whitesell replied that three prom- inent members of the Executive Association were mentioned by name, and Hoblak said that the editor, in any case, would have control of such a statement. Whitesell again said that the ed- “should check the records.” (He told the Dallas Post later, that contrary to what the Wilkes- Barre papers may have asserted, he in his own south district had | not even spent the whole state | allotment of funds for maintenance of his roads.
